Most major banks, including PNC Bank, no longer offer coin-counting machines in their branches due to maintenance costs and low usage . PNC specifically phased them out starting in April 2016.
However, you still have options for exchanging coins at PNC:
- Rolled Coin Deposits: PNC branches will accept rolled coins for deposit into your account, but for totals of $10 or more, they require them to be wrapped. You can request free coin wrappers at any branch.
- Alternatives: If you prefer not to roll your coins, or are not a PNC customer and cannot deposit them, you can utilize Coin counting machines at grocery stores and retailers, such as CoinStar kiosks which are found in many supermarkets. These kiosks typically charge a fee for converting coins to cash but offer fee-free exchanges for gift cards or donations.
Does PNC Bank have coin counters?
Great question! Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank, and other major national banks no longer provide coin-counting machines to customers or to non-customers. The big banks claim that these machines cost more to maintain than the value that is delivered to customers.
Can I deposit coins into an ATM machine?
Good point! There are only a few things you can’t do at an ATM that you can do at your bank. If you need to exchange currency, deposit coins or meet with a teller, for instance, it may be time to tap into your bank’s location finder for your nearest branch.
Can I take bags of coins to the bank?
We just ask that you separate the coins into full bags that contain only one type of coin. If you have a large number of coins to deposit, please call your local branch first to see if they are able to accept them.
